Instructions

1 COOK COUSCOUS
1

Toasting the couscous for 1-2 min before adding the water, creates a depth of flavour that is easy to achieve and totally impressive!

Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. When the pot is hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then couscous. Toast, stirring often, until couscous starts to brown, 1-2 min. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, 2-3 min. Add 1 1/3 cups salted water (dbl for 4 ppl) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until couscous is tender, 8-10 min.

2 PREP
2

Meanwhile, wash and dry all produce.* Cut the tomatoes into 1/4-inch cubes. Rough chop the parsley. Zest, then juice half the lemon (1 lemon for 4ppl). Cut the remaining lemon into wedges. Cut the halloumi into 1/4-inch thick slices. Rinse and pat the slices dry with paper towels.

3 COAT HALLOUMI
3

Sprinkle the za'atar onto a small plate. Working with one halloumi slice at a time, firmly press one side of the slice into the za'atar, so it sticks.

4 COOK HALLOUMI
4

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then the halloumi, cheese-side down. Cook until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the halloumi to a cutting board. Set aside to cool slightly. When the couscous is tender, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the broth concentrate(s).

5 MAKE SALAD
5

In a medium bowl, toss the spinach and 1/2 tsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) together. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, 1 tbsp lemon juice (dbl for 4 ppl), 1 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl) and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl). Add the couscous, tomatoes, lemon zest and half the parsley. Gently toss together. Season with salt and pepper.

6 FINISH AND SERVE

Cut the halloumi into pieces. Divide the spinach between plates. Top with the couscous salad and halloumi. Sprinkle over the remaining parsley and squeeze over a lemon wedge, if desired.
